How can we manage and continuously update the design system while the product keeps evolving?

Question

As the product evolves, the design components also need to evolve. However, there comes a point where managing this becomes quite challenging. Could you please share your process for addressing this issue? Currently, in Figma, I create new components and label them as pop-modal / V1 or pop-modal / V2 for each update.

Accepted Answer

Manage and update the design system while the product evolves by setting up a collaborative workflow with designers and developers, utilizing tools like Figma or Zeplin, integrating version control, and scheduling regular reviews to ensure consistency and alignment with the evolving product goals.

Use version control for your design assets just like you do for code; keeps everyone in sync while you scale.
